Bought Mi Note 4 for granny few months back and she is way too happy..
She can chat with all her kids/gran kids around India using whatsapp etc.
She aint tech savvy, but reliance jio connection (1 gb a day data) + home wifi.. this 2 cannot let her stop :)

She still needs my help many times to dial a number to talk

You would have to be kidding right? Despite its few shortcomings, LG isn't going to price it that low.

You can consider buying Redmi Note 5 Pro, it comes with a very good specs and features best performance Qualcomm Snapdragon which makes the phone very high performing and upto the mark. I should suggest you that while buying a new device, you can consider selling your old phone.
